2. don't worry those bumps on the back of you tongue are absolutely normal. They might puff up or get larger because you ate something too spicy or too sweet or sour.
3. Herpes sores don't appear on the tongue or even in the mouth. Herpes sores affect the lips and the outside of the mouth. You might have some inflamed taste buds on your tongue. Like the person above me said, this can happen by eating spicy or sour food. You can also get canker sores or ulcers inside your mouth too. You can always see a doctor if it really bothers you and have them take a look at it. Good luck!
